He made a fuss for a while, but when no one paid attention, he finally shut up, stood up and sat on the chair silently, glancing at Lu Jiuqing from time to time.

Lu Gaofei looked at Lu Jiuqing and asked, "What's going on between you and the Ninth Prince?"

"Father doesn't know?" Lu Jiuqing glanced at Mr. He, "I accidentally saved the Ninth Prince who fell into the water, so I am responsible for saving his life. I have already told Mr. He about this. Didn't Mr. He tell my father?"

Lu Gaofei turned to look at He.

Mrs. He was a little panicked and stumbled and said: "I, I thought she would tell the master, so I didn't say much. I didn't know she actually kept it secret."

Lu Jiuqing: "I can see my father once a year, how can I have the chance to speak in front of him?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Gaofei frowned: "Are you blaming me?"

Lu Jiuqing: "I don't dare."

Lu Gaofei frowned, always feeling that this daughter was different from the one he had in mind.

In the past, he would only see this daughter at the reunion banquet on New Year's Eve. Every time he saw her, she would sit in the corner with her head lowered. Occasionally she would look at herself secretly, but when she looked over, she would quickly lower her head, appearing cautious.

But that's not the case at all now.

Lu Gaofei concealed his doubts and looked at He coldly: "You didn't say anything about such an important thing. If you really offended that person, can you afford the consequences?"

He was startled and quickly knelt down: "Master, I didn't do this on purpose."

Lu Gaofei: "There is no next time."

Wiping her tears, Mrs. He agreed repeatedly, looking at Lu Jiuqing with a look in her eyes that made her want to eat her.

At this time, Tang Xiuyan and Lu Menghua also came back after changing their clothes.

Tang Xiuyan wore a gray robe that didn't fit well, and his face looked as ugly as possible. As soon as he entered the door, he glared at Lu Jiuqing fiercely. If Marquis Zhongyong and his wife had not been present, they would probably have taken action on the spot.

Lu Menghua changed into a light pink skirt, her eyes were red, and she felt very aggrieved. As soon as she entered the door, she threw herself into Mrs. Hou's arms and cried, "Mother."

Lu Jiuqing's eyes turned cold and he looked straight at Madam Hou.

Mrs. Hou reached out and patted Lu Menghua on the back, then pulled him out of her arms and said softly: "Don't cry."

Lu Menghua pursed his lips. Although he did not speak, tears kept falling.

Mrs. Hou believed in Buddhism and stayed in the Buddhist hall to worship Buddha all year round. Even when she did come out, she was extremely low-key and taciturn. At this time, her daughter was in tears, and her expression was calm, without any fluctuations.

On the other hand, Mrs. He, whose eyes were filled with distress, pulled Lu Menghua over and began to comfort her: "Fifth girl, if you don't cry, I will make the decision for you."

Lu Menghua threw her hand away and said impatiently: "What can you do?"

He: "I, I..."

"It's all your fault!" He suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Jiuqing and cursed angrily.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jiuqing could only sneer in his heart.

It's so obvious, why didn't she see it before?

In her previous life, she always thought that she didn't do well enough and that her fifth sister was better than her, so her mother liked her and disliked her.

It wasn't until the day she died that she finally understood the reason.

It's not that she's not good enough, it's that no matter how well she does, even if she's better than Lu Menghua, it's impossible for He to like her.

Because she is not He's biological daughter at all.

It's not that He doesn't love her daughter, it's that she only loves her own daughter.
